Sikar was the wealthiest thikana (feudatory)
under the Jaipur state. The 17th century fort here, was built when Sikar
was an important trading centre. Sites worth visiting here are the market,
the clock tower and the painted Biyani, Murarka and Somani havelis. There
is one Haveli Painted only in blue, quite like the typical Chinese blue
and are the Sagarmal Sodhani Haveli, Madho Niwas Kothi, the Jubilee Hall
and the Fort. The Jain temple as also the temples of Gopinath and
Raghunath and Madan Mohan deserve a visit. In the neighborhood lie the
Jeen Mata temple and harsh Nath temple.
